    The document discusses what it means to be human and examines whether humans today possess humanitarian values. As a child, the author wondered about natural phenomena and life processes. While humans can gain knowledge and think rationally, true humanity requires virtues like love, peace, truth and non-violence. However, events like terrorism, murder and human trafficking show a lack of these values. As younger generations, we must work to foster humanitarian values in society and help others through challenging times. Being human comes from within by reflecting on one's identity and purpose.

    Good morning, everyone!

    When I was a kid I used to wonder the magnificence of the environment and the
    human life processes. I wondered who created the sun, water, wind, how do we
    breath, the question of who, why, where, when and how was always in my mind...
    As I grew older into adolescent, along my way, as I started to gain knowledge and
    all these questions were answered one after another where I was impressed of the
    existence of the nature.
    Now, Im wondering, What does it mean to be a human?
    human? Are we humans?

    How is it to be like a

    Human is the superior species who is able to procure knowledge, rationalize,


    deliberate, understand, coach and mostly importantly, capable to value LOVE. Only
    human filled with humanitarian values is called as human. In the last decade, we
    could see many catastrophic events happening around the globe, such as terrorism
    attacks, murders, human trafficking and, of course, war which has claimed many
    innocent lives. As generation Y and Z we are responsible to fix this. This clearly
    indicates the depletion of humanitarian values among us. And, actually were
    reversing back the Darwins theory. Looking around us these days, there is still an
    unanswered million dollar question. Are we behaving like a human?
    What is humanitarian values? Love, peace, truth, righteousness and non-violence.
    These are the valus that humanize a Homo sapiens. We see human all over the
    place, but we rarely see humanity in them. It starts from a child-parent relation till
    an individual become a contributor to the society and to the environment. As a
    human, we can learn and re-learn from our mistakes which leads to evolution and
    revolution of mankind. The learnt and unlearnt are all blessed with the natural
    ability to rationalize whatever they undertake to do. Are we using this ability? Are
    we able to tap the hidden ability within us?
    Reverse the coin, even though at times were facing situations which are contrary to
    humanism, there is still some great souls are ready to sow the seeds of human
    values in the society. Mahatma Gandhi once said that we should not lose faith in
    humanity because humanity is like an ocean if a few drops of ocean are dirty the
    ocean does not become dirty.
    So, as a human, lets help each other to change and to protect the environment and
    foster love and peace among each others live. A love filled society will progress
    better, happier society performs better and better which leads to profitable growth
    of society and a give a positive impact to the growth of the country too.
    Coming back to the rhetorical question, What does it mean to be a Human? Being a
    human is not an aspect of extrinsic, it should really come from intrinsic of an

    individual. As said by the Great Saint Ramana Maharishi, one should take deep dive
    into oneself to ask Who am I? to find the real reason of being a human. So, ask
    yourself, Who am I? Are you a human..? Thank you!
